The 1857-S $3 gold piece is scarce in all circulated grades and virtually unobtainable in Mint State. At the time of this coins production collecting by mintmarks had not yet caught on, and collectors opted for the easier-to-obtain Philadelphia Mint coins. This meant that almost the entire issue circulated and they circulated very heavily. The rarity of this coin in Mint State is evident in the population reports. NGC has certified just 3 coins in a Mint State condition and PCGS has certified 2. This example carries the famous "Rocky Mountain Collection" pedigree
And is a incredible AU-58 condition. This coin offers you the ability to own a very hard to find coin in of the top grades available. |
